16 Reasons 'Baby Mama' Is The Best

If you've never seen the 2008 film starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, you need to rethink your life. This is one of the funniest movies in cinematic history. Trust me, I'm an expert (read: not an expert). It has a nice heart-warming story, not too much romance, an A+ soundtrack, and comedy to keep you laughing for its entirety.

For anyone who hasn't stopped reading to watch it immediately, here's the basis:

A successful, single businesswoman (Tina Fey) who dreams of having a baby discovers she is infertile and hires a working class woman (Amy Poehler) to be her unlikely surrogate.

And here are the best parts of the movie, in no particular order.

1. Birthing class

Even if you've never seen the movie, you've probably heard about this scene. Angie is who we all secretly wish we could be: honest and uninhibited. She is more than proud of using those "toxic, western medications" for her own comfort.

2. Chocolate or poop?

It's not actually so bad of a question. Kate (Tina Fey) is disgusted, but all moms (or babysitters, really) who have seen this know this is only funny because it is true.

3. Every time Kate has a freak out

This scene is one of my favorites; I like to imagine what it was like for Tina and Amy to film.

4. Hey, Ladies!

Taking Kate to the club is one of the best things that Angie does in the movie. This is me, if my friends ever convinced me to go out with them.

5. The locked toilet

The over-protective mother living with a woman who never graduated high school is what makes this movie so perfect.

6. Kate's Mother

"Kate, please don't get a black baby."

7. B*tch, I don't know your life!

Kate says she's a horrible liar, but Angie might actually be worse.

8. Every time Angie eats something healthy

"What is this?!" "Water." "It's horrible!"

9. Five minutes of uninterrupted eye contact

Steve Martin as a weirdo hippy. My life is complete because of this.

10. Chaffee Bicknell

I can't decide if she's the worst character or the best character.

11. Support Group

Christopher, we love you.

12. Pre-natal vitamin

Pills should just not be that big

13. Preparing for labor

My only question is this: Is this something people actually do?

14. I just don't like your uterus

HIS MUG IS THE BELLY OF A PREGNANT WOMAN

15. The opening monologue

What a fantastic surprise it is when you first realize that this whole speech has been Kate talking to a man she's on a first date with.

16. When Angie is in labor

"It's feels like I'm shitting a knife!" This is the only description of child birth that I actually believe.


Thank you to the wonderful Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for creating such a masterpiece. We love you. Your auras are beautiful.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
